Provided are a temperature control method and apparatus for driving a
polymerize chain reaction (PCR) chip. In the temperature control
apparatus, which is for a polymerize chain reaction chip, PCR chips
receive electric power from the outside and generating heat to maintain a
predetermined temperature and for outputting actual temperature
information to the outside. electric power supply units supply electric
power to the PCR chips according to input control signals, and a
controller generates the control signals based on control information
including pre-established control temperature and control time
information and the actual temperature information supplied from the PCR
chips in order to supply the control signals to the electric power supply
units. In the present invention, it is possible to examine various kinds
of DNA at the same time because the temperature control apparatus
controls the temperatures of DNA samples at the same time.
